Brian Eno has implored the International Criminal Court to “exercise the mandate it has been given to prosecute war crimes” in an open letter.In a post shared to Instagram today (October 7), Eno referenced the “horrific events” that occurred on this day last year, when over a thousand Israelis were killed by Hamas forces.Following the attack, the Israeli cabinet formally declared war against Hamas, the the most significant escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in several decades, triggering unprecedented and seemingly unrelenting violence.Eno and former Greek finance minister Yanis Varoufakis wrote that the ongoing military campaign from Israel “amounts to a well-planned, fully-fledged genocide”.
Per Reuters, Palestinian health authorities have said Israel’s ground and air campaign in Gaza has killed more than 41,500 people.
The attacks by Hamas on October 7, 2023 killed over 1,200 people.“Israel retaliated with overwhelming military force,” Eno continued. “A year on the carnage continues, resulting in at least 50 thousand Palestinian deaths so far, and no sign of an end.“Israel is in the grip of a murderous far-right government which has made its position abundantly clear in public statements: they want an exclusively Jewish state, and they won’t accept or recognise the UN or any other international body that suggests otherwise.”A post shared by Brian Eno (@brianeno)“Yanis Varoufakis and myself think this is a catastrophic path for & Israel itself and, if unchecked, a disastrous development in international relations,” the post continued.“If this is allowed to happen without any serious reaction from the rest of the world we will have sacrificed any right to the moral high ground and given the nod to any other.
